Game crash bug

Hi.

I hope this hasn't been posted yet, if so I'm sorry. Tried searching and didn't see something like this. Anyways, problem with my game is, for some reason I am getting a serious problem in Telos at the beginning. Initially I started a game with Jedi Guardian and I managed to get past this point no problem. However, in this game when I enter Telos, I get this graphics bug where all the textures go mumbo jumbo and I can't see anything except odd polygons

I've tried contacting tech but no response yet. I'm using an ATI Radeon graphics card (I'm gonna use an opengl fix someone suggested on another board, maybe that'll help). I tried starting a new game, but for some weird reason, the same bug was there at my char. selection screen. I basically deleted all my saves and gonna restart entirely anew, but I just wanna try to avoid this problem in the future.

Any advice?

I have no advice for you - just a comment:

I have the same problem, except....My game likes to crash at random intervals. I have been saving often, so luckily I am not losing much. Sometimes I get an error report, other times it just 'crashes' completely. The last time it crashed was at the Mandalorian camp, when I exited it and forgot about wanting to sell some equipment to the merchant there for credits; when I re-entered the camp, it crashed.

Any suggestions?

well on the xbox...

i played through as a LS Sentinal Weaponmaster on a modded xbox (not sure if that makes a diff). the game crashed twice times--once after t3-m4 uses a console to open the doors to the admin level on peragus (right before the HK droid ionizes him), and once where you finally beat darth nihilus. the first was unrecoverable...just had to keep trying over and over from the last save point, but the second one i saved after the "crash" and restarted to find an inanimate, standing nihilus and the quest to finish setting proton cores. quite weird.

by crash, i mean the screen goes dark and you can't see anything but the game seems to be continuing. hitting start still brings up the menu (visible, hence save option) too. on peragus, loading the "crashed" game brought my MC into play (impossible since i was trapped on peragus station's admin level), but once i wandered into another area, i switched back to t3-m4 and was summarily stuck.

one of the weird bugs i found was in the first vision test in the sith caves on korriban--i kept dying (last party member dead; play again?) choosing the LS conversation choices since about 6 ppl rushing me with lightsabers was pretty bad. i chose the DS convo option (taking a permanent hit in alignment--couldn't ever get back up to LS mastery) and survived "death," with no answer from kreia in the force link convo. 6 hrs later, i try from the last save point and manage to beat the 6 jedi with a thermal detonator and some lucky critical strikes, but i don't get LS alignment points for choosing good conversation -_-;

this game has, per meg, probably more glitches than windows.

In the first KoTOR, I got the "dark screen" with nothing going on - the game was continuing, I just couldn't see it, lol. I could hear it - very strange.

It only happened once or twice though.I believe the only time was after I left Dantooine and got into the turret to destroy the fighters.

I'm on a PC. I swear for some reason this only happends when I'm on Telos. Or should I say, right in the beginning of Telos. I still can't seem to resolve the conflict, so do any of you know of a way to teleport off Telos and somehow resume the game that way? I'll cheat at this point, I don't care I just have to get this damn bug to end.

Search a little on this forum, because this behaviour has been posted about many times and a number of solutions have been found in the past.
Basically it is the ATI graphics drivers and the game which doesn't like each other, so the game is tremendously jerky in that area (most of the time).

But try searching this forum for the solutions. As I recall multiple possible work arounds were found.
